HI All
Another weird thing.... I 'won' a couple of double fluorescent fittings - probably 2ft tubes - a pair of them.
They seem to share a common ballast - but each tube has its own separate starter.
When switched on, only one tube strikes. With the other one I can see the heaters on - but it won't strike. If, after the first tube has struck I remove the starter from the 'dead' tube, it will then light - but won't light from cold.
Swapping the starters makes the fault move from tube to tube. Swapping a starter from a working 4ft single unit into the fault starter position doesn't improve the situation. The 'faulty' starter works fine on the 4ft single unit.
I'm confused !
Are there different types of starters - or is there likely to be a fault on the twin ballast ?
Any suggestions (apart from 'go buy a new unit !)
